Juan Bai

Dr. Juan Bai is an ARC DECRA Fellow and Lecturer at the School of Chemistry & Physics, Faculty of Science, Queensland University of Technology (QUT). His research focuses on designing functional nanostructured catalysts, electrochemistry, and energy conversion devices, with a particular emphasis on understanding energy storage mechanisms at interfaces. He holds a PhD in Materials Physics and Chemistry (Shaanxi Normal University, 2019) and a Master's in Chemistry (Nanjing Normal University, 2015).

His work spans the development of advanced materials for energy applications, including catalysts for electrochemical reactions, MXene-based electrodes for supercapacitors, and strategies for enhancing ion regulation in batteries. Notable contributions include studies on rhodium-based catalysts, platinum group metallenes, and phosphorus-modulated molybdenum sites for oxygen evolution reactions.

Juan Bai is actively involved in the Centre for Materials Science at QUT, collaborating on projects that bridge fundamental materials research with applied energy solutions. He currently supervises Honours, Master's, and PhD students, fostering the next generation of scientists in electrochemistry and energy systems.
